Cigarette craving is a key contributor of nicotine addiction. Hypnotic aversion
suggestions have been used to help smoking cessation and reduce smoking relapse
rates but its neural basis is poorly understood. This study investigated the
underlying neural basis of hypnosis treatment for nicotine addiction with resting
state Electroencephalograph (EEG) coherence as the measure. The sample consisted
of 42 male smokers. Cigarette craving was measured by the Tobacco Craving
Questionnaire. The 8-minute resting state EEG was recorded in baseline state and
after hypnotic induction in the hypnotic state. Then a smoking disgust suggestion
was performed. A significant increase in EEG coherence in delta and theta
frequency, and significant decrease in alpha and beta frequency, between the
baseline and the hypnotic state was found, which may reflect alterations in
consciousness after hypnotic induction. More importantly, the delta coherence
between the right frontal region and the left posterior region predicted
cigarette craving reduction after hypnotic aversion suggestions. This suggests
that the functional connectivity between these regions plays an important role in
reducing cigarette cravings via hypnotic aversion suggestions. Thus, these brain
regions may serve as an important target to treat nicotine addiction, such as
stimulating these brain regions via repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation.
